There are a few things about her father that Hannah Legare is sure
of: he can maneuver a boat; he knows all the bones in the human
body; he is a hero; and, someday, she'll find him again. You might
think that Hannah--now running a racy start-up company with her
husband in San Francisco--has moved on in the two decades since her
father went fishing and never came back. But Palmer, Hannah's
brother, who dutifully stayed home with their mother in Charleston,
South Carolina, knows she's still obsessed. When Hannah returns to
Charleston after a frenzied break with her husband, Palmer can only
imagine what mystery and mayhem she'll stir up.
MEN AND DOGS is a hilarious, affecting, and wholly original tale of
siblings trying to reckon with their flaws, with a heroine as
exasperating, magnetic, and breathtakingly real as family itself.
Sarah Walters, the narrator of GIRLS IN TRUCKS, is a reluctant
Camellia Society debutante. She has always felt ill-fitted to the
rococo ways of Southern womanhood and family, and is anxious to
shake the bonds of her youth. Still, she follows the traditional
path laid out for her. This is Charleston, and in this beautiful,
dark, segregated town, established rules and manners mean
everything.
But as Sarah grows older, she finds that her Camellia lessons fail
her, particularly as she goes to college, moves North, and
navigates love and life in New York. There, Sarah and her group of
displaced deb sisters try to define themselves within the realities
of modern life. Heartbreak, addiction, disappointing jobs and death
fail to live up to the hazy, happy future promised to them by their
Camellia mothers and sisters.
When some unexpected bumps in the road--an unplanned birth, a
family death--lead Sarah back home, she's forced to take another
long look at the fading empire of her youth. It takes a strange
turn of events to finally ground Sarah enough to make some serious
choices. And only then does she realize that as much as she tried
to deny it, where she comes from will always affect where she ends
up. The motto of her girlhood cotillion society, "Once a Camellia,
always a Camellia," may turn out to have more wisdom and pull to it
than she ever could have guessed.

Money, beauty, power, and love -- the youngest members of the
Magnolia League have it all. Some may call them lucky, but the
truth is they're charmed. Armed with spells, potions, and conjures
from the powerful Buzzard family, the Magnolias have bought their
luck...at a price.
Ensconced in the League's headquarters on Habersham street, golden
girl Hayes Anderson would never dream of leaving Savannah, where
there's no problem that can't be solved with a cup of Swamp Brew
tea. But when danger lurks and family secrets are unearthed, Hayes
learns that magic can't fix everything.
Across town at an old mansion on Forsyth Park, recent California
transplant Alexandria Lee is on a quest to free her mother's spirit
from a hoodoo spell. As dark magic sweeps through Savannah's
historic squares and misty backwaters, will Hayes and Alex have the
strength to save the people they love -- and themselves?
Katie Crouch's second Magnolia League novel is a beguiling story
about family, friendship, and the magical ties that bind.
